Department Profile

ISG has created an ISG Data Group (IDG) to provide single point of accountability for the full spectrum of data related commercial initiatives. This ranges from the defensive risk reduction aspects of data security (both internal and external), through operational efficiency from improving data quality, to helping enhance revenue through further leveraging our data assets for providing services to our clients. 

The ISG Divisional Data Office (DDO) is part of IDG and is responsible for the oversight and integrity of the data used for senior management, regulatory or client reporting, or used by internal controls. Using a risk-based prioritization methodology, the team is responsible for working with control groups to prioritize key data which may require improvements in the controls to ensure integrity of that data.

• Excellent communication skills, capable of synthesizing complex requirements when engaging with senior stakeholders and technology teams

• Convey business requirements for technology teams: Gather, distill, and articulate stakeholder requirements in clear, actionable terms for developer teams. Facilitate effective communication to ensure deliverables meet business needs 

• Managing ambiguity and resource constraints: design and implement solutions for problems where priorities are unclear, and technology resources are limited.
